Taberner got carried to the same degree for a good while.Lol should be in the team no matter what.. Wtf is this. Even though doesn't perform still should be in the the team if others have earnt it. Most ridiculous thing I've heard

And where will we be when we smash the Eagles? Cos we are gonna smash them.We'll be 17th if we lose tomorrow (or 18th if Geelong and Gold Coast draw)
Wow that's really cheered me upAt this stage of the year percentage drops and rises are larger (eg: Freo's percentage went up 11% last week despite the loss) , and there's only 2.6% difference in percentage between us (88.6%) and Geelong (86%), so if Geelong lose narrowly to Gold Coast and West Coast beat us by a few more goals than Gold Coast beat Geelong we will drop to 18th.
Why?but for the coach to say that as your motivation to beat us tomorrow is really poor form
How?Interesting to hear Schofield on The Restump this week talking bout Adam Simpson's motivation to beat us this week. Was saying that the message from him to hus players was beat them and they don't play finals. Now I get the rivalry and God knows how much I hate both the team and their supporters but for the coach to say that as your motivation to beat us tomorrow is really poor form
This I'm OK with. "We lose we're not paying September ", but to say "beat them so THEY don't play finals " - I dunno I just find that a really pathetic approach.Kind of hope our coach is telling the players the same thing, "You campaigners lose to these Eagles flogs, you're not gonna be playing in September!"

Not true. I listened to that podcast. Schofield wasn't quoting Simpson. He isn't privy to the Eagles inner sanctum anymore. He was just doomsaying to get a rise out of the Restump boys. And as for derbies in general, he said that Worsfold and Simpson never coached or prepared for them any differently to a regular AFL game.Interesting to hear Schofield on The Restump this week talking bout Adam Simpson's motivation to beat us this week.

Noddy to wing and Aish into the midfieldJackson might be shoe horned into midfield minutes this weekend with Brodie dropped.
Can't see any other reason to have dropped him.
Cox is a far better player now than in his early forward days, If Cox moves forward I think he’d do well, but what ever he kicks will probably go against us the other way with him not back there… still, I’d love to see what would happen if he spent time down fwd, much better experiment than using Louge.Cox would probably be our best forward if he played there. That luxury was taken away from us with Logue leaving.
A hamling Pearce combo just won't work down back imo
And we could get to 8th with a percentage boosting win and Sydney winning as well.We'll be 17th if we lose tomorrow (or 18th if Geelong and Gold Coast draw)
Thank you mate, sometimes I worry I'm the only one on here who thinks like that. The attacks I get for even suggesting Taberner should be dropped..... it's like he's untouchable just because he wears purple and has been the only viable forward option for so long.You might as well compare Tabs to mickey mouse , he is a dud
Honestly look at his regular leading patterns it is always to the boundary, when did you last see him have a kick for goal directly in front say 35/40 mtrs out
Sorry if this sounds over negative but i think we play better when he is not in the team as it straightens us up
Tabs has been in the team regardless of performance for years. What's the difference.Lol should be in the team no matter what.. Wtf is this. Even though doesn't perform still should be in the the team if others have earnt it. Most ridiculous thing I've heard
Knowing Taberner, he'll probably kick 6 today, secure his position and then go missing for the rest of the year.It's a huge game for Tabs today. I get the feeling he's at the crossroads - play well and he stays in but another poor showing and he'll become depth and only used in emergencies.
Jason Dunstall wouldn’t be able to lead and mark with our current gamestyle.But his marking is terrible and his kicking for goal has really gone down. His leading patterns aren’t that flash and is too slow. Just depth.
So, it was Will Brodie who was made the scapegoat...
That's pretty insane.
